The truth is we talk a lot around here. Not only are we generally verbal (which some of you will say is an understatement), but since we both work largely from home, Lucy hears the lion’s share of all our yakking. And she’s a quick study. <\/p>\n

Words we might regret teaching Lucy<\/p>\n

Mostly, we’re proud of her growing vocabulary. But there are some words that give us pause. How long will it be before one of these rings out during a quiet moment in church, for instance?<\/p>\n

* _fart_ (especially as in “Papa farted!”)
\n* _bra_
\n* _butt_
\n* _beer_ (especially combined with “more! yummy!”)
\n* _naked time_
\n* “_Lola_”:\/news\/2008\/l-o-l-a\/
\n* _underpants_ (fortunately, this sounds like “upperdance”)
\n* _nipple_<\/p>\n

Fortunately, this is as bad as it gets so far. Be patient, though — there’s plenty of other vocabulary used around here we’ll be embarrassed about in time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
